New York’s Premier Travel Show produces record attendance and exhibitor numbers, completing the inaugural New York Travel Week.

The Travel & Adventure Shows hosted their third show in as many weeks at the Javits Convention Center on January 28-29 welcoming more than 21,500, over 350 exhibitors and 850 travel advisors and over 3,000 travel trade and media members. Show attendees engaged with destination representatives, tour operators and travel providers both domestically and from around the globe offering up travel ideas and inspiration. Attendees were even invited to take advantage of special deals and promotions on the spot to stretch their travel dollar and make their dream vacation a reality.

Following the success of this past weekend, upcoming Travel & Adventure Shows have seen a return to pre-COVID pre-event registration numbers for shows in Washington D.C. (February 4-5), Los Angeles (February 18-19), and Denver (February 25-26) and more. The next events promise travelers in these major cities will leave with an abundance of new travel knowledge from hundreds of the top destinations and travel providers from around the world, as well as advice from leading travel experts.

The New York Travel & Adventure Show featured a Croatian National Tourist Board Pavilion, where regional destinations and tour operators from Croatia promoted the most travel experiences while meeting with over 185 pre-qualified Travel Advisors during a networking event prior to the show opening on Saturday. Included in The Travel Trade Day Program were three subsequent panel discussions featuring top Cruise Line, Caribbean, and Florida-based Tourism Board Executives.

The show also included the expanded LGBTQ+ Pavilion, that showcased gay-friendly destinations, tour operators and travel agencies, as well as dedicated programming on the Global Beats Stage. Attendees learned of destinations that have up-and-coming LGBTQ trends and had the opportunity to speak to representatives who can answer questions or address concerns. Also featured at this year’s show was the Passport Acceptance Program, where attendees could register to have their passport applications accepted, expedited, renewed, and even have their passport photos taken, right on the show floor.

“The New York Travel & Adventure Show was a huge success for us. We literally triple what we did in 2019 while meeting the most qualified audience of attendees we have ever seen in New York. The attendance was very impressive, and the event run as always to a high degree of professionalism,” said Michael Consoli, Cruise Planners/Michael Consoli & Associates Agency Owner, “I don’t know what you did for marketing, but each show keeps getting better for us!”

In addition to these new pavilions, show attendees gained valuable advice from industry experts Samantha Brown, Pauline Frommer, Peter Greenberg, Andrew McCarthy, and Patricia Schultz, while participating in dozens of informational and education travel workshops. They also watched cultural performances on the Global Beats Stage and explored the Caribbean Experience where different Caribbean destinations showcased their cultures with culinary experiences and performances.

“The attendance at this show proves that travel is back in the U.S. The abundance of pent-up wanderlust by show attendees, and the success of this show in the Media Capital of the World proves the demand is only increasing,” said John Golicz, CEO of Unicomm, LLC, which produces the Travel & Adventure Shows. “Our Washington D.C. event next weekend is already exceeding pre-pandemic numbers, and Los Angeles is trending in a very similar direction.”

A Peachy's Pick Since 2012 and #Best #Spanish #Restaurant in #Manhattan, El Pote Espanol #ElPote #ElPoteEspanol @elPoteEspanol Since 1977 by New Owners Nicolas Ahuatl and Juan Costa Winter 2023 #WhomYouKnow #PeachysPicks @ManhattanPeachy #PeachyDeegan

Owner Nicolas Ahuatl with the Chicken and Lobster

It's not who you know, it's Whom You Know and we absolutely know El Pote.  It is by far the best Spanish restaurant in Manhattan, and we have been singing its praises for eleven years straight.  It was last featured this past summer.  Its consistency and excellence through an ownership change in the past few years is highly laudable and it is a rarity to see such a flawless transition and a sincere commitment to keep all winning aspects of a tremendous restaurant in place.  Though we miss Enrique and Jose when we walk in the door we love seeing Nicolas and team and their amazing cuisine year-round.

We absolutely adore the garlic soup.  We dream about it and no other can compare.  It is the best thing you can do for yourself right now particularly because we are approaching zero degree temperatures.  You want to order many servings to sip to get yourself through the next few days!  It's fragrant without being overpowering and absolutely addictive.  We didn't even know we liked garlic soup until we met this years ago.  Also, it's nice to know that the Spanish airline association has honored them:

Everyone that is anyone from Spain and the Spanish Embassy comes here and note they all speak English in case you are worried.  As you avid readers know, Peachy herself took six years of French and would be lost in Spanish.  We are rarely surprised by anything, but this next hit goes to show you that you ought to always ask what is soup of the day:

Oh my goodness, Galician soup where have you been all our life?

Original owners and founders Enrique and Jose started El Pote in 1977 before Peachy could even write, and they are natives of Galicia in Spain.  It's the northwest.  This puts every other chicken soup to shame because it goes even further and adds pork sausage, collard greens, white beans, pork ribs and potatoes.  Any saltiness is derived from the natural intrinsic flavors of the bones of the animals involved (pig, chicken) and you will want to dive in immediately.  Note this is just as phenomenal as the garlic soup.

There are many attractive appetizers, and this time we checked the superlative consistency and excellence of the Gambas al Ajillo: Shrimp in garlic sauce.  It continues to be a sizzling sensation and a fragrant journey to the higher echelons of European elegance.  The Mango Salad is a new Nicolas feature that is a fantastic nutritious pick-me-up.  It brightens the winter doldrums with its of course mango highlight, joined by cherry tomatoes, apples, romaine and avocado.

Of course pictures speak louder than words, and this is what dinner is supposed to look like.  As always our pictures are never ever edited.  You excel like Nicolas or we do not publish.  Pollo Al Ajillo is chicken (legs and thighs) sauteed with lemon and garlic, an authentic Galician style.  The captivating flavor hits the spot on a cold winter day and this should be your superbowl food: who needs wings.  Catch of the day is always great but we opted for the Pollo Con Langosta which is Chicken and Lobster.  Why would you ever want Chicken and Waffles at a lesser venue when you can have Chicken and Lobster?  A generous portion of two complete lobster tails joins the chicken in a fragrant red sauce that will light up your winter night.

When it is time for dessert, say yes please to the fresh flan, made daily on premises.  It is sweet enough without being overbearing. Its consistency and creaminess are wondrous and paired with a coffee and chocolate drizzle, it's amazing.

El Pote continues to Earn Our Highest Recommendation.

#ReadThis #AFrontRowSeat by #NancyOlsonLivingston @KentuckyPress

A Front Row Seat is a trip down memory lane by author and actor Nancy Olson Livingston, and for everyone interested in the entertainment business, it's a must-read.  Knowing the history of the business is essential, and her first-hand look at how it's done and the culture around it are eye-opening from beginning to end.

You of course know her from Sunset Boulevard, which we understand is President Trump's favorite movie starring Gloria Swanson, but her real life coupled with her professional accolades and society stories will keep you turning the pages. Though she is a mid-west original, her bi-coastal American living is sure to appeal to our readers.  Nancy embellishes style, intellect, kindness, consideration and emotional intelligence in a world that can be quite devoid of it at times.  This book is timeless.

We liked the Jackie/Jack Kennedy reference on p. 120, and the tidbits included are fantastic including a phone call from Walt Disney himself.  Even if you are not specifically interested in entertainment, Nancy's overall life lessons are thought-provoking.  The music business is covered quite a bit as well as Nancy married it twice.

If you like reading about Hollywood, a book like this is the gold standard.  Any second-hand news you see when you are checking out of the grocery story cannot compare at all.  If you are here, you are interested in Whom You Know directly, not through a third party!  Nancy is classy and classic and the times she does dish she does it with panache.

Nancy really has a knack for being in the right place at the right time, and to see what we mean, crack open this winner.

A Front Row Seat is Recommended by Whom You Know.

One of the Last Leading Actors of the Golden Age of Hollywood Releases New Memoir

A Front Row Seat: An Intimate Look at Broadway, Hollywood, and the Age of Glamour

From her childhood in the American Midwest to her Oscar-nominated performance in Sunset Boulevard (1950), actress Nancy Olson Livingston has lived abundantly. In her new memoir, A Front Row Seat, Livingston treats readers to an intimate look into her life as a woman, wife, mother, and actress working and building a life in the last gleaming years of Hollywood’s Golden Age.

“If luck is a lady, like the song says, that lady must be Nancy Olson Livingston—an Academy Award–nominated actress (Sunset Boulevard) and muse to her first husband, lyricist Alan Jay Lerner (My Fair Lady), and to the Capitol Record impresario Alan Livingston. Her life has been a banquet. A Front Row Seat is a vivid, illuminating record of all the high-rolling stars of music, film, theatre, and politics who found a seat at her glamorous table.”—John Lahr, theater critic, writer, and author of Notes on a Cowardly Lion: The Biography of Bert Lahr

Beginning with her childhood, readers walk with Livingston through the pivotal moments of her life. As a student at UCLA, she is signed by Paramount and packs in a series of roles including several films with William Holden. One of those films becomes Sunset Boulevard for which she receives an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress.

In her early 20’s Livingston exchanges her title of leading lady for that of wife and muse to composer Alan J. Lerner, with whom she has two daughters. But when that marriage dissolves, Livingston returns to the screen costarring in films such as Pollyanna and The Absent-Minded Professor.

After a stint on Broadway, she marries Alan Livingston, head of Columbia Records, and together they host the likes of up-and-coming talents such as The Beatles and help raise the cultural bar in Los Angeles. With her husband by her side, Livingston later trades her work on Hollywood’s center stage for a life behind the scenes. She contributes her time and resources to organizations such as The Blue Ribbon where she works as a patron for children and women in the realm of art education.

Entertaining and engrossing, A Front Row Seat deftly interweaves Livingston’s life with her observations of the artists, celebrities, and luminaries with whom she came in contact—a paean to the twentieth century and a treasure for readers enamored with a bygone era.

#SalonPeachy #HAIRNOW #EPISODE19 #MoverandShaker #EdwardTricomi Master Stylist and Founder of @WarrenTricomi Styles #PeachyDeegan To Celebrate the 14th Anniversary of #WhomYouKnow and #Breaking Warren Tricomi to Open on Madison Avenue and 76th Spring 2023

WE'VE GOT THE SCOOP THANKS EDWARD!

BREAKING NEWS : WARREN TRICOMI TO OPEN ON MADISON AVENUE AND 76TH STREET ON MANHATTAN'S UPPER EAST SIDE SPRING 2023!

YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST!  THIS IS EDWARD'S FIRST INTERVIEW HE'S DONE SAYING THIS!

In other news, Peachy Deegan celebrated the 14th Anniversary of Whom You Know with a visit to the one and only legend of hair, Master Stylist Mover and Shaker Edward Tricomi!  Check out the date of that interview: 2009!  The best just keep on getting better like a fine wine.  Of course, we went to The Plaza Hotel.  He is the one and only person to shape and style Peachy's hair since 2014 and every hair on Peachy's head applauds.  These pictures are totally unedited: hair does really look this fabulous after a visit to Edward!

It may be football season but after the original Edward Scissorhands strikes you with his magic doing the essential classic dry cut that he himself invented, the best touchdown in the world is not on the football field but on your head!  

Even if you are not a six foot tall supermodel (and if you have met Peachy, certainly you are aware of her towering height at just over five feet...) you can look like one with the right hair: and that means a haircut by Edward.

There is nothing like entering The Plaza Hotel and ascending the staircase to the second floor and floating into the higher echelon of hair craftsmanship of Warren Tricomi.  This visit, we were delighted to see Vera and Veronica who both graciously greeted us as we entered.  A fantastic wash and condition by newcomer Ozden Oz followed, and then Ozden gorgeously blew out our hair to prepare it for the cut.

Recently, Peachy visited The Met, which we love.  The paintings on the wall don't have hair as great as yours will be after a dry cut by Edward Tricomi!

Thanks Edward!  We like to think we are informative and fun but our brilliant hairstyle of perfection is all you.

Edward Tricomi continues to earn our Highest Recommendation.

Linda Fargo – “Edward is THE Rock Star of the hair biz. He plays his scissors with as much groove, intuition, precision, finesse and inspired excellence as the Hall of Famer that he is. He created my signature bob and I am his forever!”

Legendary Warren-Tricomi Salons co-founder Edward Tricomi is known for demanding excellence in everything he does. Be it hair, fashion, or music – when Tricomi is involved, perfection isn’t just expected: it’s inevitable.The roots (no pun intended) of his renowned career began after a suggestion from his sister that he try cutting hair to supplement his income as a musician. Growing up, Edward read Vogue religiously, devouring and absorbing the art within it. Moreover, as the grandson of a fashion designer, he was always surrounded and inspired by the world of fashion. Decades later, Edward is perhaps the most iconic and influential hair historian of our era.

Working his first New York City salon job in the 1970s (working with the likes of Bianca Jagger and Salvador Dali) inspired in him an ambition to create his own beauty empire. He began doing editorial hairstyling, landing his unique and innovative work on numerous prominent fashion magazine spreads and covers.

Edward achieved the position of Art Director at the Jaxavier Salon, widely considered to be the epicenter of style at the time. There, Edward was introduced to world famous stylist and Vogue editor Polly Mellen, whose profound influence helped propel his career to the next level. Through mutual respect and admiration for each other’s talent and work, Polly booked Edward to collaborate alongside iconic fashion photographers including Irving Penn, Richard Avedon, Patrick Demarchelier and Helmut Newton. Edward also met Deborah Turbeville, with whom he began a 40 yearlong professional relationship, each one inspiring and impacting the other’s illustrious career. The transformational artistic integrity, avant-garde travel and art exposure that Edward’s editorial career afforded him continue to inspire him decades later.

Glowing reviews from fashion photographers and a sparkling reputation prompted fashion designers to take note of Tricomi, who soon began styling the looks for fashion shows for brands including Valentino, Yves Saint Laurent, Emanuel Ungaro, Calvin Klein, Dior and many other top tier designers around the world. Edward’s innate understanding of hair and fashion coupled with his visionary ideas regarding their potential to intersect in order to enhance one another propelled him to the forefront of the industry. Working at strong editorial-based salons helped Edward hone (and eventually perfect) his craft, leading to the development of his signature dry-hair precision technique and rapid-fire method of cutting, which is frequently compared to an artist sketching. It also serves as the inspiration for his loving nickname, “Edward Scissorhands.” This unusual style of cutting mimicks the hair’s natural state with ‘perfectly imperfect,’ abstract layers and allows him to see how the cut will look in the hair’s natural state. Edward is known and respected for this intellectualized approach to hair by elevating the process, he is also elevating the result and ability to understand how each haircut needs to be uniquely tailored and designed to suit the individual for whom it is for.

At the top of his game, Edward decided to leave the editorial world and focus on building his namesake salon business. In 1989, opened the first Warren-Tricomi Salon on East 57th Street in New York City. In addition to fashion and music, Edward has a strong passion for architecture his keen artistic eye, understanding of structure, and dedicated passion have lead him to be integral in the design and layout of every single Warren-Tricomi Salon. The original location closed in 2009 when the salon moved to its current flagship local in the iconic and incomparable Plaza Hotel. Each Warren-Tricomi Salon is incredibly unique, with different décor to reflect the location and personality and essence of the city or neighborhood within which it resides. The brand has a rich history of designing and building some of the most unique salons in the world.

Warren-Tricomi prides itself on being more than just a hair and beauty salon. All stylists trained at Warren-Tricomi are required to study and become experts in not only styling, but also fashion history. It is fundamental to the Warren-Tricomi brand that this extensive knowledge and perspective is present in every single haircut given in their salons. Few other salons can also make this claim, in the same way that few other salons are perpetually and actively on the forefront of beauty and fashion in the way Warren-Tricomi has been for the last 25 years. This significance and influence is evident in many facets of Tricomi’s business, one of which is the fact that they do at least three fashion shows each season, all over the world.

Throughout his prolific career Edward has mentored many well-known stylists including Italo Gregorio, Patrick Melville and Ric Popino. He has worked with virtually every celebrity, including Barbara Streisand, Mick Jagger, Nicky and Paris Hilton, the Kardashians, Scarlett Johansson, Jessica Alba, Justin Timberlake and Jimmy Fallon. Edward is constantly garnering inspiration from the people he works with: models like Patti Hansen, makeup artists like Pat McGrath and photographers like Roxanne Lowit.

The legacy of Edward and the Warren-Tricomi Salons continue to be a driving force and influential cornerstone of both the beauty and fashion industries. Their cutting-edge techniques, coupled with their deep appreciation and understanding of history and those who have come before and inspired them, enables Edward’s business to be the embodiment of modern fashion and beauty; at once both trendsetting and classic. Yet despite his significant impact and illustrious, celebrated career one esteemed fashion photographer and devoted Warren-Tricomi customer calls Edward a “phenomenon and one of the most talented hair dressers in the world” passionate and devoted beauty pioneer and mogul Edward Tricomi will tell you he’s never worked a day in his life.
